MEDICINE-PACKAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,865, datedSeptember 22, 1891.

Application filed July 11, 1889. Serial No. 317,215. (No model.)

To ail whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH W. BREWSTER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State ofOhio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMedicine-Packages, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to bottles and similar packages for medicine.

Its object is to provide a pocket for a syringe, spoon, or dropper to becarried withthe bottle or package, so that the means for measuring outor applying the medicine is always kept with the package containing it.It is especially adapted for fluid preparations which require a syringeor dropper for their use. These, being usually of glass, are in mypackage protected from breakage.

The invention will be readily understood from the following descriptionof the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation ofa bottle embodying my improvements. A part of the pocket is broken awayto expose the syringe within it. Fig. 2 is a top View of the same. Fig.3 is an inverted plan view.

Referring to the parts, which are indicated by similar reference-lettersWherever they occur throughout the various views, A is a glass bottle,the sides, neck, and one end of which do not difier from an ordinarybottle,but the opposite end is formed with a concave recess a andundercut flanges a upon each side of the recess.

B is a sheet-metal shell, which has inturned flanges b upon each edge toembrace the undercut Walls of the side flanges a andin connection withthe depressions a form a pocket for the reception of the syringe O.Thelower end of the shell B is inclined inward at b to form a partialbottom for the syringe-pocket. The metallic half-section B is made sothat its edges will clasp closely the outer inclined walls of theflanges a to hold it firmly in place.

What I claim is- The glass bottle A, having concave depression at uponone end extendingthefulllength of the bottle-body and undercut sideflanges a upon each side of said depression, in combination with shellB, having inturned flanges b and lower inturned end 19', forming apartial bottom closure to support a syringe as a new article ofmanufacture.
